SPIRIT Ok"rilE PUBLIC JOURNALS. ~..,~ ,• To a real thorough-bred egastor, who looks to get a living out of his trade, there is no misfertune so great as I the concession of his demands. If there were no food for d•scontent, there would be no food for him. His business therefore is to demand not what may he granted, but what must be ref l esol. By that polies- he obtains the csedit of uncompromising zeal for his couetry, and he keeps the machinery always going for himself. The reader who sets out with this clue will avoid the error of supposing that the demands of sir. O'Connell, as just now. put forth in his authorized Journal, the Dublin Pilot, extravagant and ridiculous as they are, have been madly or loosely made. Not at all. He looks out a-head, he sees that his Cabinet is infirm on its legs, and that any smart blow aid overset it. With its downfall away go his patronage in possession, and his Chief Justiceship in contingency. Something safer and reore stable must be grappl. il. The rent, after all, is the thiug to cling to. Sorer iens and Parliaments may be undeceived, and Lords Lieutenant and Home Secretaries left without the means of rewarding faithful service ; but the altar will always hold a begging -box while grievances can be supplied to the priest. Trump them up, then, by wholesale ; vamp, coin, forge, without stint. On all that fabricate mass rear a pile of proportinnete demands. The last Session of Parlia ment was an awkward one ; nothing done of all that had been boasted ; no justice achieved by you for Ireland ; the tithe-conversion acquiesced in without the pro mised adjunct of appropriation. These deficiencies must be handsomely made up ; in proportion as your late deeds have been slender, your new demands must be monstrous. Everybody must be made to under stand that you are now in earnest ; and your budget of stipulations must be stuffed large enough to last you for lite. Such counsel would the Agitator receive from the demon whom be still has served ; and on such counsel he has acted. After requiring (in a parenthesis) " a consi derable alteration in and addition to the Ministry," which, all things considered, is a very unkind cut, he exacts Household Suffrage, Triennial Elections, Ballot, and Sti pendiary Representation ; and these, not for Ireland alone, but for the whole United Kingdom. We were not aware that the Member for all Ireland had been elected also Member for alt England and all Scotland, Perhaps the lion and the thistle may not quarter into his escocheon so sub missively as he assumes. But he passes rapidly to " the se cond or local branch of his demands, which is justice to Ireland." The first of these local exigencies is the " total abolition of tithes, root and branch, in name and in aaturc." That is, the total subversion of the Protestant Church in Ireland. Not for the benefit of the Roman Catholics, for he professes to desire the endow ment of no faith whatever, leaving each to the support which it may be able to derive from the voluntary principle. He knows that the property thus to be cut off from the Church would simply fall back into the pockets of the landlords without the smallest benefit either to the State or to any religious persuasion ; so that this is a mere piece of gratuitous insolence to the Church Establish ment. But the subject is well selected for the basis of a demand, because it is one at which he can still cut and still come again with a perfect certainty that his re quisition will never be conceded. Lord Grey told the Whig Cabinet some years ago, that the Protestant people would be too strong for that. The Whig Cabinet have felt the truth of what he said, and have slunk back from their weak and wicked attempt upon the Irish Church ; and this moment of acknowledged defeat is selected by the Agitator:as the season for putting forth new postulates, m ore monstrous even than those which have just been baffled. The claim he next advances is for a Municipal Bill, "such as our united brethren of England and Scotland enjoy." His uninstructed countrymen most probably suppose, that there is some one constitutional measure which English and Scotch partake, but from which the Irish are excluded ; whereas the feet is that England has one municipal measure of its own, with a certain pecuniary qualification—that Scotland has another of its own, with another qualification, and that a third, with a qualification yet different from both the former, was proposed for Ireland and rejected by Mr. O'Connell himself. Next, he will have an addition of fifty or sixty Members to the Irish representation. Why, such an elongation of the tail would make it equal to the coil of the serpent in the northern mythology, that circles the whole earth ! Then, a local Legislature, such as the representative colonies enjoy. The ground on which these colonies are permitted to have a local Legislature is, that, by reason of their distance, they, can return no Members to the Imperial Parliament. Bu Ireland, according to Mr (Mennen's constitution, is t ° have a Parliament it London, and a Parliament in Dublin too. A total abolition of the Bank of Ireland monopoly. The Agitator, though bent on glory, has rt;11 " a frugal mind." He has an Irish bank of hi own, called, we believe, the National Pro,incial Bank of Irel. nd. An alteration of the Irish prison system. It may very possibly require reformation, but this depends on de tails which are not before us. A larger share of the money voted for public works, and " an immedate grant o' at least our mil Lon pcr annum from the public Ti casury towar,ls completing, four great railway arteries, north, west, south, and east," wider the management, no eoubt, of CW1311:13- FlO :era to he appointed en Mr. O'Connell's recomenemla lion. " Four g-eat a-teries" for England to bleed into. What are these a-teries to circulate ? Jobbing into every qu n ter of the island, nothing else. A furlong of levelling here, a forlong there, through the land of some indigent O'Conneliite squireero to keep the neighbours from beg;ing at the slated house. A lean, er, in politer language, an advance t) this engineer or that contractor, who hos pot into debt by helping at tile list election. When a cou t has traflic enough to be in need of railroads, railroads will grow out of that traffic, without draughts on the public Treaseri. But neither traffic, nor railroads, nor any other produce or channel of commerce, will you hive in Ireland while the whole unied and industry of the prop's are tilt( retro:sly excited and relaxed by poEthsal irer,i tettion. It is by these demand rats thenselves, by Mr, O'C noel; and his instruments, that all healthy occupation is checked ; that the popular attentioa arid interest, whieh ought to be bestowed upon the labeure, arts, and means of ii"e, are distracter: ) to qusstions of political theory aiel party warfare. The loose, profligate satellites of agitation--- lows who End it easier to.spout than to work—swollen with drink, and conceit of their own political importa tee, keep up the flame by constant farmiag. The lealers pay them in patronage or promises, and, when both are run dry, come to the English with a demand of money, to be squan dered upon idle ness in the name of industry. And all this is permitted and countenance •I by a Lord Lieut.: nant, won complacsntly credits himself for the pro , purity and quiet of the country, while the great move of the mischief is boast ing openly of the mass which he liohls ready to exphide, and braving and bullying the British Parliament with the threat of well-counted ins ria.ls, ready for anti )n, and hardly repressiliie from immediate outbre tic !—Times. A recent event of a melancholy aid fatal character, in twa wer_, sacrificed, recalls our atteation to a suhjact to which, though in the turmoil of political cootro versy we have baen dii °stet! from giving it as in tie) atten then as we should have wished, our anxious solicitude has long been d.rected. The event n11,.:(1.:.,1 to is the, death of two individuals who fell victims to the foul air generated in a newly-made grave iu Alilgate Church-yard ; and the suhject thus recalled to our attention is the neces ay of protecting the health of the metropolis front the noxious effects of cro vded church-yards iu d-n-ely populated neighbourhoods. The state of some of the metropolitan church-3 , 4n', bits loag been such that their vicinage is not more injurious to the health than it is revolting to the feelings of those within its range. Oa this account we are most desirous that the public cemeteries established in the neiolnhourbood of town should be used on every possible or convenient occasion. The expense of the ground, as well as of the distance of conveyance, presents to the poor an almost insuaerable barrier against their hav ing recourse to these distant burial grounds ; but this diffi culty might be obviated by convenient cemeteries being provided by the State, which might also afford assistance to those who might by the straitness of circumstances be incapacitated from having their deceased friends conveyed to a distant grave-yard. It is rot more essential to the health of the metropolis than to its general convenience that the receptacles of the dead should not be in its imme diate bosom. Such is the effect of the effluvia from grave-yards on some s nsitive individuals, that they can not approach the neighbourhood of burial grounds, without experiencing sensations of the - most oppressive and over powering character. 1:1;is was v,l particularly the case with that singular indivit ual , no, a few years ago, acquired so much notoriety, Caspar Hauser, who always on approaching a grave-yard suffered a difficulty of respira tion amounting to sync o p e. With such evidence of the in salebrious influences of it the ex dations of grave-yards on animal lif e , it would he supe rfluous to d.lateo.n the eligi bility of their removal from a c rowded metropolis. In con nexion with this suiiieet there are several other nuisances which it would be most desirable to have removed or abated. Many of these we recent l y indicated when dis cussing reports male to the House of Commons, on the power of overseers to make assessments for objects ex traneous to the relief of the poor. If the Legislature would in its unwillingness to proceed with reforms of a more p o litical diameter, address itself to the better regu lation of matters of this kind, the public might receive their efforts as some compensation for their gross deficiency in other respects.—Morning Advertiser. The " Citizen-King" is rot likely to raise his character in the eyes of enlightened Europe, or to give additional s ec urity to Isis throne " of July" by the system of pet!) , persecutions by which he endeavours to hunt the family of Bonaparte from the free soil' of Switzerland. Nothing can be more paltry in its motive, more undignified in its, character, more mean and dishonest in its mode of execu tion, than the policy which the " King of the Barricades" has adopted to.vards an ancient people, whose history is associated with some of the noblest struggles for freedom that ever excited the admiration of mankind. What is the motive which Louis Philippe has for adopting his menacing and 'bullying tone of policy towards Switzerland? It is ostensibly to drive from a hospitable asylum within the mountain-fastnesses of freedom a member of the family of Napoleon whom his own persecutions alone base raised into polifeal importance. We believe he has another and, perhaps, a stronger motive in recommending himself to the especial favour and protection of the Autocrat of Russia, by en deavouring to crush the independence of Switzerland, and chase liberty from her mountain throne, consecrated by glorious recollections. But whether his motive be merely to persecute one who bears the name of a man to whose genius France was indebted for surpassing glory, or to recommend himself as a fit instrument of despotic ambition to the great absolutist of the north, it is equally paltry and contemptible, and only such as could actuate a little mind, and one wholly destitue of all true notions of regal dignity: Then, as to the means adopted for carrying that perse cuting and illiberal policy into effect, are they not worthy of the motive and the object ? Who does not remember the affair of the French spy Conseil, when M. Thiers, the pseudo Liberal was Louis Philippe's favourite minister? Could any thing be more disgraceful to the government of a great nation than the base plot then conceived by the French Cabinet for complicating the Swiss Government with other powers in order to justify a predetermined attack upon her independence ? M. Thiers was a great admirer of loan-mon gering liberalism beyond the Pyrenees—while he resorted to the most discreditable practices to crush that spirit of ancient freedom which, for ages, had made its home within the romantic land of the Swiss Cantons. He met the re ward which he de-erved, by being most unceremoniously ejected from the councils of the Sovereign when he assisted in his crusade against Helvetian liberty. We trust the people of Switzerland, true to the principles which ani mated their heroic ancestors in their victorions struggles with Austria and Burgundy, will not allow a Representa tive of the House of Orleans to dictate to them upon what terms they are to extend their hospitality to strangers. No ; the people of Switzerland, we are sure, will rather encounter the hostile arms of Louis Philippe, if he should dare to invade their free territory, than drive from their soil any stranger to whom they have given an asylum, whe ther he be naturalized as a citizen of their State or not. But Louis Philippe w ill no t d are t o pu t hi s i nso l en t th rea t s in execution. Let Switzerland be true to itself, and the spirit and determination with which it upholds its indepen dence, while securing for it the respect of Europe, will make Louis Philippe pause before he attempts to violate its independence.--.lllorniag Herald. The curse and the failure of all military operations dur ing the present contest in Spain have been, that the mili tary spirit on both sides has been wound up merely to the degree necessary for resistance and defensive war : when either party ask more than this of their troops, and lead or urge them to the offensive, then that party is surely beaten. We have often made the remark. How success ful were the Carlists as long as their efforts were limited to repelling the enemy, and profiting by such advantages as his imprudence might offer ; whilst from the moment that foreign gold and councils induced them to besiege an important city, or to march forth to the conquest of Ma drid, their strength and skill became useless, and they themselves fell into such dissension and exhaustion, that a year's repose has scarcely restored them to the strength which they had two years since. The same is true of the Queen's army, the successive commanders of which have speedily learned and eagerly adopted the rule. Cordova and Espartero both entered upon command with spirit, and not without access ; but the former soon inverted his blockade system, whilst the other, without any system at all, has certainly adopted it as a maxim to fight as seldom as possible, and never save when forced to it. Thus sanctioned by experience and theory, the passive or do-nothing system of warfare has become so established on both sides that the attack of two petty forts, Penacerrada and Morella, the one successful, , the other unsuccessful, form the only military feats of the present year. At the same rate of progress the war may last to the 20th century at least. The march of political events has contributed to render this state of things pos sible. At first such sentiments prevailed in Spain as liberal enthusiasm, political effervescence, and warm sympathies in the fate and fortunes of one's cause. These seem to have evaporated. The Basques avow they care not for Don Carlos, and prove it by refusing to fight, but yet they coldly calculate that worse might follow if they were to submit to the Queen. And there they stand with Don Carlos as their chief, by sufferance, and awaiting for time or some accident to bring about the denouement, with which they will not charge themselves. Amongst the Libe rals is to be found certainly a stronger attachment to the great man principal of the Liberal cause, but at • the same time an apathy towards the men and the me ins employed to support it that to es is searee'y The Moderados and the more wealthy of the citizen: Lase sececeded every where, in Ma , !rid as in Bercelotta, in Cadiz as ie Saragossa, to crush and ste• press the truly ppular Marty. hare exeelled the people from the pdities, from the National Guard, from the eloctioes. And • wliat ha' been the conscq tenet'? Why, that. they have killed popular spirit too. The juste miilieu reigns in Spain as it does in France ; but the flute milieu which may weli ke:p Louis Phi'ippe on his throne is quite unequal to estab:ish Christine and Isabel. But if th jusle milieu is un tb:e to conquer, or even to gavel's, it is still able to exist. It is Ile those fish whosesole energy and life consist in sticking fast to the rock or the sulstanee to which it is attached. ()Cana is one of those sluggish animals, and stick ie (Zee he seil, the tide of' affairs being toe weak to wash bins f.-orts Li hold, whilst no person could be at the trouble to poke him from it. This apathy and crony of the L h••rals have allowed military nein nande.-s as brainless as Of .1-e to hold the beton of command by the sans right of ine. Mess that he holds the military sceptre. Espa to •o has some 80,000 sol Tiers. Ile contrives to provide times with porridge and keep them in obedience by giving them no fighting, or not mo-e than suits the Spanisn soldier. And so he is 1 ked by his troops ; they support each other. All that Espar tern requires is a Government at Madrid that will supply bias w.th money, because without money neither Espartero nor his troops eels sleep comfortably on the Ebro, heir; without pantaloons or support. Therefore Espartero mu t have money, and when the Nlini;ters do not send hie, money he menaces or orders stud Ministers to be dismissed. Now, how long will this system of a sh epy neral and a sanding non-fighting Armycm:tinue to suck the last vial from the resources of liberal Spain ? Why, as 1 mg as the central Government has money to st.nd hies, and ao longer. We alum t ni.h th it the hour of tl.a no longer were come ; for then we should gut rid of M. ()Celia and Gems] under Espartero, and the whole race of sluggards. We should have armies and generals forced t aso their efforts and their trite, and we should bare a po pular p irty that would take arms and fight, without pey ing troops not to fight. In fact, we should see the te..l revolution and genu'ne resolutionare resistance begie, which, whenever it does, liberal Spin will as soot rid her self of her Pretender as liberal Fleece did of he re. A part of this juste milieu, stalu quo, system is a fear of ever changes; a general. Esea- taro, sly people of this kind, has no talent, and little ene••gy ; but where would eoil find a better general ? If he were displaced to-mor row, a worse wou'd succeed hm. The same is said of orue—end thus, from timidity, a set of incapable otlicers are allowed to is este away the last military resources of the country. When Cordova resigned he thought that no one could be got to succeed him. Every one admitted that Espartero was incapable of com mand, and Espartero admitted this himself ; and yet•Es partero has done quite as well as Cordova, just as Ribere or Alaix would do quite as well aselfeepartero, being all of the one passive school, to which, tattfertunately, they have so traine•l their soldiers, that the war has literally gone asleep. The Madrid people are much cast (1 isvn because Oran ha d srnoortcaber ntkeri j /I , lorella • an d s e t w h has his success , Such a blow a; would crlealr'aiand ish s e t . e a t r t h efsd.Liii sty • I he .ceel the conception of either really tpv and ‘l.cootsuisvii o (ibit i great l i ye e b.aendNs ka triedri a lv n l z e s‘ t vp, y , ahoiisni shouldpt o w aersdre were ita b eis ; et t b l ' v e e h b e ' g fi a s b en oe s o oerh s 'm p g e sel e in dl l e :i j e la s : lr a s o ? s ; f h if ytonehte nately, in addition to the timidity of tried h br e soe r etlf ow' s n b u?

The Camarilla must be paid, whether the It lately intercepted 60,000 dollars that themy store Prime or not. ter was sending to the army. It must haveits shar in every loan ; and it is this knot of serving men and women who make themselves arbiters in deciding whethe-r M. A,guado or M. Rothschild make the most advanta geous offer. But all this system of inanity, timidity, and corruption is fast drawing to a close. The Go vernments which have acted on such have destroyed every possibility of a loan, or of getting money on public credit, whilst they have just alienated the very last resource on which it was possible to reise a theusand pounds. this last resource is gone, which it will in a month or two, the financial caterpillars of Spain will soon vanish with the green leaf that fed them. We shall hear no more of Count Torero's reeurning to Madrid, nor of couriers to and from the houses of great capitalists. The Queen must then have recourse to the truly patriotic party, sod these men will not be again gulled as they were before. We l o ok w ith c o nsiderable anxiety to this eri,is which is approaching—a crisis produced by the neh or Moderado school having gone to the full length of their efforts, and finding it impossible to go farther. We have no doubt whatever of the final suc cess of the Liberals, and of their rejection of that compro mie e which the Moderedos at the last gasp will seek to force en the country, a compromise that M. Rothschild so notably reckoned on the other day when he sent to Don Carlos to ratify his lease of the Almaden mines. But Austria will not be permitted to impose this yoke on the Peeinsula, even in the case of France being weak enough to )ield to the views of Prince Metternich. The spirit of Liberalism may be dormant but is not extinct in Spain, and we look with confident hopes to the results of its speedy resurrection.—Morning Chronicle. Few things can he more contemptibly ludicrous than the didactic pomposity and vulgar pedantry of those who pub lish themselve s as , par excellence, " philosophical"politi cians. These egregious specimens of human weakness had their origin amid the misty clouds of vanity which surround the heads of Scotch Whigs and economists. These wor thies, who have done more than ever human creatures did before to bring the formalities of reasoning into ridi cule and contempt, have created a host of imitators in all parts of the kingdom who are—if that be possible—even more absurd than the originals from whom they copy. These people, instead of telling you that " twice two make four" (in the event of it being expedient to assert that recondite truth), would acquaint you with infinite gravity, that by the arithmetical process of multiplying the number two into itself, the double of that number, or the number four, will be found to be the result. As it is we find them every day endeavouring to instruct us that the man who devours a considerable quantity of bread will have to pay some sevenpence three farthings more for it in the week, if he devour in London, than if he devoured in Paris : but instead of informing us that Monsieur Tonson, in the Rue St. Honore, sells his four-pound loaf for so many far things less than Mr. Thomson, in the Strand, they cau tiously inculcate upon our understanding that, indepen dently of fiscal burthens, the wheat of London must be dearer than :the ele2at of Paris by the amount of freight and charges which attend the conveyance of it from the cheaper country to the dearer. It is curious to see how abun dantly satisfied they are of their superior wisdom, when they occupy time in showing how a thing must be so and so, when not a hundredth part of the time, nor any trouble at all, is necessary to prove that it is so, or that it is not. Sometimes, however, they bays a knack of ac counting for things, which, however grand it may be, is exceedingly wanting in the virtue of intelligibleness. They are not content with letting you know what the price of a manufacture is, but they must needs add upon all oc casions of discussion what it is that determines the price. An ordinary men in his simplisity is apt to think that pro bably a great variety of little matters may enter into th e adjustment of the price of articles. First, there is the cost of manufacture—then, whether the articles happen to be in fashion or not—whether the merchant is a cheap man or a dear man—whether he lives in a high-rented shop or a low-rented one, and so on. But your phil osop h er looks with a deeper gravity (he never smiles) at your un learned simplicity, and oracularly pronounces that " the price of manufactures abroad determines the price at home." You have but to learn the price abroad, to de duct from that the charges of transmission and for dues, and straightway you have the price at home determined It is in vain you explain to such a sage that last week you bought a penknife at Namur containing thirteen blades, and the smallest corkscrew imaginable, for four pence three farthings less than you should pay for just the same sort of commodity in Sheffield. Your pompous in structor scorns your little fact which you have so snugly disposed in your waistcoat pocket. He reiterates his prin ciple, quotes Mr. M'Culloch's notes to " Audam Smeth," and—but that he has forgotten the way—would blush for yonr want of " enlightenment." It is these ludicrous con ceited prigs who babble about " liberaulity," and when swelled out of a morning with muffins, the Morning Chronicle, and its long and much be-lauded quotations from the Scotsman, seem to think, and no doubt do think themselves the monarchs of the in!ellectur.l and poll liaical In very truth they are the most egregious asses in Christendom, save in this particular, that they well know how to take advantage of their political patrons hav ing od places from time to time at their disposal. These are the idiots who talk about the time when" universal in telligence" &hall make " universal suffrage" a very proper this g—taking care, however, to observe (because universal suffrage would by no means suit the book of their official, • p trons) that much has to be done by education before universal intelligence is arrived at. They also assure us that, as fast as men are sufficiently instructed to be able to jw!ge accurately of all the colitical cAisco i n 'nces of teeir act. , , they :•lioulcl be admitted to political power.

MANSION-110 USE. THE STEAM-VESSEL SYSTEM. Complaints without end hare been made, during the whole of the summer, of the want of accommodation in the wharfs of the city for the embarka tion of the countless multitude of passengers that have daily thronged to the packets for Margate, Gravesend, and other places of public resort. At the London-bridge wharf the steam is op from morning to night, and at Niclr.ylson's wharf, a little lower down the river, ‘• high pressure" is the order of the day, when his cheap packets take their cargo on broad. Alderman Brown appeared with Mr. Knill, the proprietor of the London-bridge wharf, to answer a charge brought by Mr. Nicholson for obstructing the passengers in their progress to his pier. The LORD MAYOR, after hearing both parties, dismissed the summons, considering it a question of private right, with which he could not interfere. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. On Saturday 'William Mills Thomas, a well dressed man Of very dark complexion,, was brouzlit before Mr. DYER, charged with felony. Under the pretence that he was a Missionary, the fellow, it appeared, had been levying contributions on the ,charitable. The charge of felony arose from his pocketing the hp,ndker chief of a gentleman who had contributed 103. to the preacher of the Gospel. Mr. DYER remanded the prisoner till Tuesday next, and desired the Inspector to lay the papers, and the circumstances connected with the prisoner's apprehension, before the officers of the Mendicity Society. HATTON-GARDEN. A dirty-looking fellow, named Raymer, was charged by Mr• Harden, a gentleman of fortune, resident near this office, with plundering him under the following extraordinary cir cumstances : Mr. Flower conducted the prosecution. Mr. Harden said that having read an advertisement in the London newspapers for dwelling houses to be taken under re paring l eases , h e answere d it, having several to dispose of, and was, in the course of a few days, waited upon by the pri soner, who stated that be was the party wishing to take such property, which, under his care, would speedily increase in value tenfold. One tenement being in the neighbourhood, witness at once invited him to inspect it, which - having done, the accused agreed to takes it for a term of 35 years, at the an• nual rent of 20/., and articles to that effec: were then and there duly signed, and possession given. Instead, however, of the accused conforming to the terms to repair, he imme diately began to pull the house to pieces, and to such an ex tent had it proceeded before it reached witness's ears, that the property was now not worth 50/. Mr. Wmtam—Mention the articles he has taken away. Prosecutor—liehas removed the grates and the doors, and he has taken the lead from the roof. He has also broken up a cistern with the pipe attached, and demolished nearly every other ♦aluable fixture about the place. Such a wilderness, I am sure, was never before seen. Mr. WITEIAM—Do you know what has become of the pro perty? Prosecutor—The grates and some of the doors were sold at a marine store shop in Shoe-lane. Mr. WrrnAm, after examining the agreement, asked the pri soner what he had to say for him self ? The prisoner, in the most impudent manner, replied that he had intended to replace the articles in question with others of a better quality. The house, he said, was his as long as he paid the rent. Prosecutor—Replace, indeed I The building would have been entirely demolished had I not interfered. Mr. Wirnau remarked that the prisoner evidently knew what he had done could not be construed into a felony.; Prisoner (laughing)—l know that. Mr. Wm-um—You are a low cunning fellow, but you will be overtaken, depend upon it. Prosecutor—This system, I now find is carried on to a great extent. Mr. Wrrnam—No doubt of it ; and I am sorry I cannot make an example of the fellow. Your only remedy is by an action for breach of contract. The prisoner was then discharged. On getting into the street he threatened to bring an action for false imprisonment unless money were given him to deliver up possession, and, by the advice of Mr. Flower, 71. was handed to him, and the agreement was cancelled. Immedi ately after this, however, he sent to the building, and began to remove some timber, and created a great disturbance, threatening still to serve Mr. Harden out. He was again given into custody, and on being taken before Mr. Witham he was committed to the New Prison in default of sureties to keep the peace. Q UEEN-SQUARE. An Irishman named Cochrane, and an Englishman named Steed, were placed at the bar fur creating a riot in Tufton street, Westminster, on Friday evening. Cockrane declared that Dan O'Connell had greatly mended the manners of the people of England, and Steed declared that he had not ; this brought on a fight and row, which the police stopped by t tking both parties into custody. On Cockrane's being locked up in the cell, ht. knocked down the door, and did more than a pound's worth of damage to the place. On being asked what he wss, he said he was an O'Connellite back and front, and that he was brought up to no trade, and complained vehemently that a fellow-countryman of Dan's should be placed in a filthy cell for taking the part of the greatest man in the world. The Magistrates fined Steed 53. for being drunk, and sent Dun's unruly friend to the treadmill fur a mcn'h as an incorri. gible rogue and vag,iboud. UNION-HALL. Thomas Wilkinson and John .Zones, two well.dreaird y,:uths, were charged with picking the pocket of Mr. Bailey, book4:Ter, of Cornhill, of a silk hatylkerchief. As Mr. I3riley was walk ng down St. Thomas's-street, when near the hospital. he felt a tug at his pocket, and turning round slw the two prisoners running in different directions ; they were followed, and one of them dropped the prosecutor's handkerchief. Evidence was given that they had tried the pJckcts of several persoas coming over London Bridge. On scary hing the prisoners, two handsomely- wo, ked cambric frocks for children were found upon them, which were sul:posi•d to be the. fruits of a previous roober•. The prisoners, who said :hey were respectable young n - .e.i, eoing to see a sick friend in the hospital, were fully committed for trial. LAMBETH -STREET. William Martin, alias Skinner, was charged on suspicion of robbing, William Chance, a bone collector, of 1 11. in gold ani silver. The complainant stated that on Tuesday evening he went into the Lim, a public-house in Whitechapel, and b fitigued, he fell asleop, the prisoner at this time being close to him, and awakening, he discovered that two canvass bags, containing ill. in gold an d s il ver , were a b s t rac ted from his P .cket On the same night a party of five men were seen to tlivi"e some money at the King's Ilea,' public-house, in Ba ker's row, and two empty bags, which were identified by the prosecutor as his, were found up the chimney. There being no proof that the prisoner was one of the party, he was dis eirarged. THAHES oIFFICE. Garret, a labourer in the West India Docks, was con victed of unlawfully having possession of fifty-six pounds of sugar, and sentenced to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. The prisoner was employed in taking the sugar out of the casks, and had put the above-named quantity in a bag ready to remove, and was lying up m it, waiting for one of the carts c. , rry cut the tools in order to remove it, when he was discovered by the officer, from whom he escaped, but was sub seepently apprehended. Ir. J. Tyrrell was convicted in a penalty of 51. for remov ing soil from the yard at Shadwell to the waterside between the hours of six in the morning and ten in the evening. As .the defendant's carts passed along the strueis, they not having splashing bohres, the filth was I, ft in the road along which they passed, which, together with the disgusting effluvium, was a great nuisance to the neighbourhood. The defendant said he lived amongst it, and it never hurt him, notwithstanding which assertion the Magistrate inflicted the fine.

There was a Roman Catholic Bishop on a visit to the Earl at the time. —Derby Reporter. On Wednesday night a person, who appears to be respectably connected, was brought to St. George's Hospital, he having jumped frora the window of the two-pair front room of the Marquis of Granby pubic-house, Knightsbridge. On beim -, taken up he had on only his shirt. His right leg was fractured, any the injuries in his head were so severe that the unfortunate reason s l t o r s a t to itlistcoa. y t that es i t t er day was found when he had partially recovered his i•enses , he stated that his name was " John Grant Reddy."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. B. —The folluwini letter from Malta was this morning received overland, dated Valetta, Malta, August 26, 1838 :—" The Hermes steamer, Lieut. Blount, arrived here the day before yesterday, to relieve the Megmra, whose engines are defective. Shortly after which a signal was made by the Commander-in-Chief for the Rodney, Min den, and Pembroke to prepare for sea, and, having got secret orders last night, proceeded early this morning to the east ward, preceded by the Rhadamanthus under steam. Some pretend that they are destined for Egypt, but I think it more likely that they have proceeded to Smyrna, where late ac counts from thence stated the Ottoman fleet of five liners, eight frigates, three brigs, two cutters, and a steamer, to be still at anchor. The Confiance has been likewise sent off this morning with despatches for Palermo. The Princess Char lotte, Ceylon, Asia, Vanguard, Talavera, Barham, Wasp, Volcano, and Hermes, and three French steamers, are the ships in port. With the exception of the Ceylon guard ship and the Volcano and Hermes, in the packet service, the other English vessels, it is reported, will sail after getting pratique, on the 28th, for the Levant. The Weaznl sailed on the 18th, and the Castor and Jaseur on the 21st, all for Barcelona ; the Blazer on the 113 d, for Gibraltar ; and on the 24th, the Me gtera, for the lonian Islands, and the Firefly, for Beyrout and Alexandria."

All that is said about economy is nothing more or less than to humbug the allied Powers into the pay ment of the third ins'alment of the loan. Russian influence is daily gaining ground, and those who visit the British resident become marked for the surveillance of the police.

Coghlan, from Halifax, whence she sailed on the 16:h of August, with mails. She brings no news. Yesterday af ternoon, whilst beating, she struck on a sunken rock, some what near Mullion Mead, called the Willow, where she re mained in a perilous situation for about twenty minutes, but was eventually off without receiving any apparent damage. The same day her Majesty's packet Reindeer, Lieutenant Dickens, arrived from the West Indies with mails, having left St. Thomas's on the Ist of August. She brings on freight only about 4,000 dollars ; and is without a mail from Jamaica. The Legislature of Demerara had confirmed the anticipations entertained, by passing the Freedom Apprenticeship Bill, and providing for its coming into effect on the Ist of August—a day that will be so memorable throughout the West Indies, as one of mercy and liberty rightly conceded to the sable population, and at the same time wiping out the stain that has so long tarnished the mother country. Arrived also, her Majesty's packet Hope, Lieut. Rees, from the Brazils, having left Rio de Janeiro on the 11th of July, Bahia on the 20th, and Pernambuco on the 29th, with mails ; and on freight 750,000 &liars, a great portion of which she took on board from her Majesty's ship Stag, Commodore Sul livan ; the latter having brought it to Rio from round the Horn. The chief news she brings is that the Chambers had made a grant to the Ministers, authorising them to raise 2,000 men by foreign enlistment to serve in the province of Rio Grande, with the view of re-establishing the authority of the Govern ment there. The rebeli, up to the last accounts, continued to maintain the ascendancy. The French are still blockading Buenos Ayres, with the chance of a settlement of differences equally remote as the last advices left them. Exchange at Rio, 28+ ; Stock, 85i. Her Majesty's packet Skylark, Lieut. Lad, has arrived from Plymouth after a refit. She takes the Halifax mail on Satur day. A fatal accident occurred on Friday afternoon at Dover. Two labotaers were killed by a fall of chalk from Shakspeare's Cliff, and a third muchlinjured,:while engaged in preparing the face of the tunnel for the railway, TERRY, THE BOTANY-BAY ROTHSCHILD. The property left by the late Mr. Samuel Terry, of Sydney . New South Wales, amounted to nearly a million sterling, and , he bequeathed his wife 10,000/. for life, &c. He svrs tramported to New South Wales when very young, and, as far as we know, for neither an atrocious nor conse quential crime, some say for stealing geese. On his arrival be es•ablished a small sly grog and pawnbroker's shop. Spirits were then a guinea a bottle, and t bacco retailed kr the weight of siker. To him resorted convict servants with some nrorn or questionable clothes, or such pie perty, which he again eir( ulated amongst associates and friends. It is easy to be conceived how, in a sprouting up c bay , enlivened by the liberal grants of a British Treasury, such a business was capable of being increased, and how it was really increased. Samuel Terry possessed qualities (a few of them ireful ore,) which, under adequate circumstances , will always produce a similar effect. He was of perfectly sober and frugal habits ; he was active and industrious ; and his whole philo,ophy consisted in having made up his mind of Lever gis big value without obtaining value for it; and, more over, as much as only to keep his neck out of the halter, or his legs out of chains. Samuel Terry was cunning enough , and not at all nice to refuse any bargain where no legal danger as to be apprehended. He left several valuable grounds which be had purchased for a bottle of spirits; or he ad vanced spirits and tobacco, sued or caused to be sued for the debt, and bought the grouud at the sale of the sheriffs. Whether Samuel Terry ever foresaw to what value land would rise in the colony, or whether it was accidental, that he endeavoured to amass the only sort of property which was to ba lied in his war, suffice to say, that as soon as this rise tcok place, S imuel Terry was even on that score a rich man, and he must have found to his satisraction, that those acres of his in and near Sydney, hitherto covered with filth and rubbish, were now worth as much as if they were pasted all over with bank notes. Samuel Terry entered subsequently into some shipping speculations, but his cunning and caution were so great, his economical habits so unalterable, that we did not bear that be ever sustained any considerable loss. It was at this time (about 20 3 ears ago), that being asked in some lawsuit, on his oath, how much ho be ieved himself worth, he answered 90,000 1 . st ling. In t tce extensive business he was now engaged in be was b ig , d to have large amounts of cash about him, and one Sun ay morning his " iron chest" was robbed of some thousand s ereigns. This deed was traced to a young convict who lived in Terry's service, and who, on account of his engaging figure and good behaviour, had been hitherto a favourite with the family, some gold coin having been found concealed in his shoes. Ile was capitally convicted. It is asserted that Samuel Terry obtained leave to visit hint in his cell, whets he, under the explicit promise of obtaining his pardon, in" duccd the boy to disclose to him the spot in the r: fl -„ede where the money had been planted. The story erns, that Terry was since haunted by the sight of the executed, and ie moments of anger his relations reproached him with the murder of the lad. A similar tragical event is related, in which Mr. A— and General B— was concerned. This gen tleman was on intimate terms with Samuel Terry, and thir latter lent him on one occasion 8001. Mr. B— became after wards embarrassed, when Samuel Terry sold his valuable farm and got himself possessed of it, which, as it is said contributed at least to the subsequent mental aberration of this% gentleman. About six years back Samuel' Terry was in possession of about 50,000/. sterling per annum, and in the very prime of life. He lived then in the same place he died in, viz., a no t small, but unroomy, tasteful house in Pitt Anns, Sydney- He rode at times a clumsy old charger, and passed mser hours of the day in talking, but in his shirt sleeves. Whe n ' he had a friend with hire, and was obliged to send for a bott:l• of spirits to the party, he always smelled the breath of O.:: ser vant, for fear that he might have drunk some. Mrs,. Terri never kept a female servant; she dressed in the raost nay, coarse manner, and was seen every Sraturday on he r knees scrubbing out the premises. Ably-ATI'. Samuel Ter r y in the latter y ears o f hi s lif e diseounte,l 300,000/. bills a t tee per cent., and as it is known that the rental of his houses is Sydney (of whi hc he possessed an entire st ree t), t h e produce of his farms, &c., amounted to at least 60 ,0001. or 70,00 01, per annum, he yet lived upon SCO/. or 6001. a year, a nd thu s it will be seen that hie i mmense wealth was but a dead incule' brance upon him. , But we will now mention facts, which will not only ex° llo Samuel Terry from being an object of envy, but reduce him to that of a man to be truly pitied. About four years ago this hitherto strong and healthy man was seized with a P a : ralytic strok e , w hi c h at once d. pr i ve d him of the use, of b'" right limbs His son,had married a hand some and rell-11 A emigrant, but, being a drunken and brutal man , hr.-jived with on the wo rs t p oss ibl e terms, an d opened, i n o - ,,e of h i s ma m merits, her head with an iron poker.
